Frequently Asked Questions

I won’t promise it’s painless. There are a few uncomfortable moments, especially during your first visit. I’ll explain what’s happening, check in with you, and pause when you need it. You don’t have to quietly tough it out.

Most clients schedule every 4–6 weeks to maintain smooth results and reduce regrowth over time.

Gently exfoliate 24–48 hours before your appointment, avoid lotions or oils on the day of your service, and wear comfortable clothing. Proper prep helps achieve the best results.

Avoid hot showers, workouts, tanning, and tight clothing for 24 hours after your appointment to prevent irritation.

Waxing reduces the risk compared to shaving, but proper aftercare is key. Regular exfoliation and proper skincare help prevent ingrown hairs.

Yes, you can still receive waxing services during your period. You may be slightly more sensitive, so proper timing and comfort measures are recommended.

Waxing removes hair from the root, leading to longer-lasting smoothness, softer regrowth, and less frequent maintenance compared to shaving

If you’re considering medicine for comfort, ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider what’s appropriate for you and follow the product label. You don’t need to take medicine to have an appointment. Let me know if you’re nervous—I’ll explain each step, check in, and pause when you need it.

Feeling nervous is completely understandable, especially before your first wax. For privacy and safety, the treatment room is just for you and me. A friend, partner, or support person is welcome to wait in the waiting area. Tell me what’s on your mind—we can talk through the appointment before starting, and you can ask for a pause along the way.

Yes—please let me know. I aim to be thorough, but a few stubborn hairs can occasionally be missed. Reach out and I’ll help you schedule a complimentary touch-up.

Touch-ups must be booked within 7 days of your original appointment and completed by the same wax specialist who performed the service.

Many clients continue waxing during pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different, so check with your healthcare provider first if you have concerns or medical restrictions.

Your skin may feel more sensitive than usual. Let me know how you’re feeling so we can check in about your comfort throughout the appointment.

Nope. Waxing doesn't cause hair to grow back darker, thicker, or faster. In fact, regular waxing often has the opposite effect. Over time, many clients notice their hair becomes finer, softer, and less dense because waxing removes the hair from the root.

Consistency is key. The longer you stick to a regular waxing schedule, the better the long-term results tend to be.

Please contact me before your appointment if you use Retin-A, retinol, or similar vitamin-A products on the area you want waxed. These products can make skin more vulnerable to lifting and irritation, so waxing may not be appropriate.

Tell me what you’re using and follow your prescribing provider’s guidance. Don’t stop a prescribed treatment just to prepare for a wax. We can discuss another option, such as tweezing, when appropriate.

Your skin comes first. I’d rather adjust the appointment than rush into a service that doesn’t suit it.

It's completely normal to have some redness, sensitivity, or mild irritation after waxing. For most people, this fades within a few hours, though more sensitive areas, like the bikini or Brazilian area, can stay pink for up to 24 hours.

To help your skin recover, avoid the following for the first 24 hours:

• Hot baths, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms
• Intense workouts that cause heavy sweating
• Tanning and prolonged sun exposure
• Swimming pools and lakes
• Sexual activity after bikini or Brazilian waxing
• Touching the area unnecessarily

Freshly waxed skin can be sensitive, so keep the area clean and give it a break from excess heat and friction.

After 48 hours, begin gentle exfoliation 2–3 times per week and moisturize regularly to help prevent ingrown hairs and keep your skin smooth.

I’ll talk you through aftercare before you leave. If you have a question afterward, please reach out—you don’t have to figure it out alone. For severe or worsening symptoms, seek medical advice.
